NMMC had issued CC to builder Ramakant Bama Patil on December 2015. “The development work was in violation of Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act 1966 as the applicant had adopted fraudulent means that was proved in the hearing and other documents. Therefore the order to cancel the permission was given to stop any further development,” said NMMC chief, Dr N Ramaswami.

Both encroachment and town planning departments of NMMC have been instructed to initiate action on the Cidco plot in sector 11, Kopar khairane village.

“Cidco in January 2017 notified that the plot which is being developed, has not been allotted to the party concerned. It was also stated that the documentation regarding the tripartite agreement, lease agreement were bogus and the CC given has to be revoked,” said a senior official from town planning.

A hearing was held on April between all the parties concerned and the developer gave it in writing of being not being aware any such development, said the official.

Builder Ramakant Patil said he had no role in the development work. "My name and signature was forged. At the hearing, I had stated of having no role in it,” said Patil.
